New Report: Rihanna and Chris Brown Hooked Up!

A UK celeb news magazine claims this afternoon that rather than what was described as a mere coincidence - when the two superstars both stayed at New York’s Trump International Hotel a few weeks back - they actually hooked up in the Big Apple.

Star reports that a hotel source saw them “canoodling” in her room (their word, not ours) and that they used decoy cars to "put off" the media in the process.

The magazine also claims exclusive quotes from Rihanna’s mom Monica Fenty, who is pretty upset that her daughter is supposedly back in Chris Brown’s arms.

“I’m devastated, but what can I do? Rihanna is her own woman with her own mind. Independent. Chris has a bizarre power over her," Fenty said (supposedly).

"She still loves him and he knows it. In her eyes he’s a god. Even after all this time, after what he did, it’s not diminished, no way,” she added (supposedly).

What he did, of course, was beat the $h!t out of her. But if you're a god, then you can pretty much do whatever you want and receive no jail time. Right?

At the time, sources for both Chris and RiRi denied anything was up. But were they just downplaying it? And what's with that ring on her finger? [Photos: Fame Pictures]

Chris, who filled in for Drake at a Virginia Beach concert over the weekend, publicly apologized for the first time last month. The assault happened in February.

Rihanna has been seen out and about frequently, and has been linked to Drake (ironically). But rumors of her reconciliation with Chris have been heating up.

The conditions of Chris Brown’s plea bargain prevent him from coming within 50 yards of the singer, but does that even apply if both of them want to hit it?
